I LANGTON'S GARAGE ^hkpha?..si? - | Nobody's Business Written for The Chronicle by Gee McGee, Copyright, 1928. GJ5B McGKB, T9CKI8T About 6 weeks ago the doctor came to my house and looked at my ba!by'? tongue and took my wife's blood pressure and counted my pulse ami found out clandestinely that I had a few dollars in the bank and that possibly 1 could borrow a few more dollars, and then he sat down a while and thought and meditated, and then arose and with much nonchalance and no ehaigrin said: "You and your fumily must go to the mountains for a month." And we took him at his word and packed up. Well, my wife's u terrible person to take things home ulong with her on a vacation. We had a pretty hard time getting the ' piano and the 8 clocks and her 2 trunks and 6 valises and all the clothes all of us ever had into my installment plan, but as it had room for 5 people and there were only two and a quarter of us, we finally got in and started off. We had only 9 punctures on the way up, but we made it. We stayed at a 2 dollar-a-day hotel the first night for 14 dollars. We got up bright and early and ate a breakfast of salmon balls, grits, and coffee, and then proceeded to hunt a cottage where we could live for might nigh nothing. 'Mr. Rail Estait showed us several little leaky roof shacks which looked like a cross between a cowstall and a buggy shed, unfurnished, unfinished, unpainted, and unhealthy, that we could have our pick of at o|tly 40 dollars a week. That raised my -blood pressure to 235 in the shade, and my wife had a fainting spell. We looked around 2 more days, and by that time?we had done spent our full vacation allowance for meals and board at the hotel. We never fount! a desirable place uftder a Vanderbilt rental rate, and we thought we would just board <5n where we were for a few days, and give the man a check for our bill and beat it (the check) home. We did that. We had a mighty nice time up there. Didn't lose or gain any flesh, but we learned how to pski prices for rents and other non-eBsentials. If a cotton farmer could get mountain rent prices and hotel lodging prices for his cotton, he'd get over bo cents a pound. Why, those summer resorts have drug store prices skint a block, and when you ask more for anything than a drug store asks for anything, you've asked something for nothing. We had our temperature took on the fifth day, and we also had our pulses counted, and our tongues showed but very little coating, and most of that was buttermilk that . wouldn't give .up its .vitamins i and as we felt fairly well, thank you, and financially embarrassed, we came on home. We were mighty glad to be back, and have tried not to let the doctor know we're back. We'll get well before we let him know we didn't do what he told us to do, and then we'll see him causally, and the mountains will get credit for curing us. The guy that wrote, "Home, Sweet Home" knew what he was talking about. I saw a married couple the other day that acted just like single folks. They were hugging and kissing and slobbering all over one another. I thought they had been married long enough to know better. Uncle Joe*8 boy, Sammie, is some big sport. It was all right with me for him to go bareheaded and let his stocks hang down over his Bl&oes arid permit his shirt-tail to dangle out and keep his collar unbuttoned, but when he began shaving under his arms?derned if I didn't get pluiSfb disgusted with him. ~ V The quidnuncs are engaged at present in performing operations on the ~?haracter and reputation of the various candidates seeking public Office. One of tHem told his wife and ale told her, cousin confidentially and hfcr cousin told hot uncle confidentially that Willie" Skinnem ^>ad never made any pretense Of paying his honest debts, and that if Robbie Beatem were to g&trthe job he's running for that the safe in his office Wouldn't be s?fe a week, and timfc &ookwo*m? Doolittle got drunk eVery Saturday night and had a fight with his wile, and she always walloped the lard out ot him. these* quidnunc* may know^hat-they are talking ut. I don't. ; 1 New York, Aug. 6.?-Widespread laziness together with a distinct bull movement caused spots to shimmy exceedingly around the 22-cent mark, but after somebody 1Sfrid that only 4 acres were abandoned in Texas during the first 26 days of July, the market eased off and went on just as if nothing had happened. The strike continues in the New England mills. The strikers are only asking. for the mill and its contents, but the owners can't deliver the guods-^as the mills are mortgaged, and Che strikers aoh't want it if it's encumbered. Showers in West Alabama forced December up 8 points, but the Federal Reserve reduced the interest rate, and this loss was soon absorbed. We predict aft early frost and late tax paying. There's one thing you can say for the new styles in wearing apparel: the women ain't all the time a-worrying about their petticoats and underskirts falling off,- 'cause they ain't -wearing any 80*9 you could notice it. 1 If AL~Smith is elected, Mr. Rascob will be our next secretary of the treasury, and Mellon will be cut. There's a chance for the Democats thUptime. Looks like thenars going away, we'd win test walk. 4t Willi hurt mighty bad though if AVfigSj ^ ' "VSE^sSTlSIf^?
